Hi Everyone,

I finally got my pre-op and surgery date! Pre-op is Nov. 28th and surgery is on Dec. 4th. I will be banded by Dr. Richard at Lanier Park Hospital in Gainesville, GA. I am so excited!!

I have been reading the posts on this site and would like to say that the amount of support that you have for each other is amazing. I have tried to get as much information as possible on what I will be going through. I do realize that I can't base my experience on anyone else's because we all are unique individuals.

It just helps me to know what some of you have experienced so that I won't totally freak out if it were to happen to me! Any advice you have for a new bandster will be greatly welcomed!!

:whoo:

Congrats!! That was an exciting and scary time for me...LOL My advice would be to make sure you get all of the information you can from your surgeon before the surgery. I feel blessed that most everything I went through, my doc had covered it! Also, don't be shy about calling the doc, that is what they are there for. If you don't know something ASK! GOOD LUCK on your journey!

Hi Sandy! I too am in Georgia & having my surgery done by Dr. Johnson with Atlanta Bariatrics in Johns Creek.

I see Dr. Johnson on Friday, so should be able to set my surgery date then.

Let me know how you progress..
